Kiddo by Leslie Parry

Winner of the 2015 Heavy Feather Fiction Chapbook Award judged by Jac Jemc, author of The Grip of It:

“Kiddo is a knockout. The language paints the set for this story with natural, assured strokes: cars are the color of licorice and goons get slugged and panic fizzes. Kiddo is a mystery full to the brim. Family, friendship, mistaken identity, poverty and the allure of Old Hollywood combine to ensure that every sentence is packed with intrigue and heart.”
